1. In this image, the photographer uses a certain angle to shoot at so that you can see the person modelings facial expressions and how she looks sad, and kinda depressed. The mood of this image is kind of depressing, and sad. The girls feelings are really shown through how she's just blankly staring at the ground below here. The story being told here is probably just about a young girl who's having a hard life and is at a pretty bad place right now. I feel bad for the girl when i see this picture, because she just looks so sad, and if i was in here place i would want someone to help me or be there for me. The way the photo was framed was so that the girl was right in the middle, and that helps the mood of the photo because it puts the subject on here because she's pretty much dead center. The lighting is also below the girl, which is the place her eyesight is focused on as well. This helps to set that depressing mood as well.
2. The photographer used an angle where he/she put the person more on the right side of the frame, and you can really see the barren plain behind her and you can also see the effects of it on her skin, hair, and face. Its kinda saddening and you feel bad for here because of the conditions she lives in and what it has done to her, and you can see through her facial expression that its made her a more broken down person and she's worked very hard. The story being told is just the story of a woman who has had a hard life and has gone through a lot. The emotions this photo evokes from me is pretty much just a saddening mood, and just looking at the photo almost makes me soar. The way the photographer framed the photo also helps change the mood, as i said before, he/she put the woman on the right side of the frame more so that you could see the dry field behind her, and then the angle he shoots from its pretty much straight on so its not trying to say that she is above or below us.
3. The photographer used a slightly heightened angle to take the photograph from, and the three kids and somewhat far down the street from where the photographer is. Also, the camera man gets the street going down in the background and the whole street is lined with broken down businesses but at the same time these kids are having what seems to be like a good time, and they're not really paying attention to their surroundings because their just in the middle of the street screwing around. The story being told by this photograph is one of i guess three kids that live in a bad neighborhood, but at the same time are probably above it. This makes me feel kinda happy to see these kids having a good time, and it reminds me of some days during summer vacation just having a good time with my friends and not really caring about the outside world, as they seem to be doing. The angle, again, is just slightly higher than the level that the three kids are at, so it might have been taken from the bed of a truck or something, and it captures the rest of the street next to them.
4. The photographer just took a portrait of this older woman. You can see the heavy wrinkles on her face, and she's still smiling at the same time, so it evokes a happy mood, and puts you in a kind of mindset where you don't want anything to get you down. The story thats being told is that of the old woman and how she probably had a hard life, which pretty much seems to be the theme of most of these photographs. The emotion that the photo evokes from me are just happy ones, but at the same time i can sense that she has been through a lot. The way the photographer framed the photo was just a dead center portrait of the woman and the lighting is basically all around her, and theres not really any shadows, and you can tell thats its a studio lit scenario.
5. The photographer took a picture of himself standing, then a picture of himself laying in the bed, and took the two negatives and overlaid one over the other, so, as you can see, its a picture of him looking at himself dead, laying on a metal table, probably going to get an autopsy or something soon. We went over this photographer in class, and specifically we used this as one of the photos by him, and the story that we discussed that he had been through was that he was a gay man in the 80s and he had many friends dying of AIDS and it was a painful time in his life. He didn't really use an special angles, just straight on ones, and the framing is normal as well, with a pretty much dead center setting. I think the photographers name was Duane Michaels.
